SnapShot: Auditory Transduction
نویسنده
چکیده
role in alerting us to nearby activities, in the appreciation of music, and especially in human communication. Airborne sounds vibrate the tympanum, which transmits the oscillations successively to the malleus, incus, and stapes of the middle ear. Moving like a piston, the last of these miniscule bones alternately increases and decreases the pressure within the cochlea, a chickpea-sized organ that is the most complex mechanical contrivance of the body—and the site of auditory transduction.

BAOJ Medical and Nursing Fetal Memory: The Effects of Prenatal Auditory Experience on Human Development
The paper presents evidence that the intrauterine auditory environment plays a key role in shaping later auditory development. The acoustic environment in utero begins to shape the auditory system much earlier than sensory systems that are not exposed to input until after birth. The effects of prenatal auditory experience can be observed both among fetus through different paradigms and in the n...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Notch Signaling Pathway in Drosophila: A Snapshot
During the course of evolution, the first multicellular organism is believed to be evolved around one billion years ago though the traces of life dates back to almost 3.5 billion years. One of the reasons for the rather slow rate of evolution lies in the fact that it took a very long time for the cells to develop machinery that would help them behave ‘socially’. Signal transduction pathways are...
متن کاملDistinct Roles of TRP Channels in Auditory Transduction and Amplification in Drosophila
Auditory receptor cells rely on mechanically gated channels to transform sound stimuli into neural activity. Several TRP channels have been implicated in Drosophila auditory transduction, but mechanistic studies have been hampered by the inability to record subthreshold signals from receptor neurons. Here, we develop a non-invasive method for measuring these signals by recording from a central ...
متن کاملStochastic Resonance in Hair Cell Mechanoelectrical Transduction
Hair cells are the mechanoelectrical transducers in the auditory system of many species, including humans. Experiments show that transduction in individual hair cells displays stochastic resonance, with optimum response at the natural noise level of living cells. We find that many of the observed features are captured by a simple version of a physiologically faithful model of the transduction m...
متن کاملThe Novel Coronavirus – A Snapshot of Current Knowledge
Another animal to human transmission of a coronavirus occurred in December 2019 on a live animal market in the Chinese city of Wuhan causing an epidemic in China, reaching now different continents. This minireview summarizes the research literature on the virological, clinical and epidemiological aspects of this epidemic published until end of February 2020.
